Conclusion
From the Paper
"There has long been a great deal of speculation about the motive behind these acts. The book The Complete History of Jack the Ripper asserts that the contemporaries of this killer had a difficult time understanding the motive behind such heinous crimes. Some have speculated that the killer was influenced by the occult (Sugden). The author asserts that other contemporaries believed that the murder was somehow influenced by the stresses of the modern age (Sugden). The author also explains that there was a belief that if the killer was caught he should be studied, so that officials could garner a greater understanding of what caused him to commit these murders (Sugden). The author explains "can we not, before handing him over to the executioner or the authorities and Broadmoor, make a really decent effort to discover his antecedents, and his parentage, to trace back every step f his career, every hereditary instinct, every acquired taste, every moral slip, every mental idiosyncrasy (Sugden).""

The Convicts of "Great Expectations" & "Jack Maggs", 2001.

Abstract
This essay compares Charles Dickens' "Great Expectations" with Peter Carey's "Jack Maggs." The author examines how the portrayal of the convict characters Abel Magwitch and Jack Maggs are compared and contrasted, revealing astonishing similarities between the two characters, despite the different backgrounds of their authors.
From the Paper:
"Peter Carey's novel, "Jack Maggs", and Charles Dicken's "Great Expectations" whilst built on the same story line, were written by two authors from different countries and different times. It would therefore not be amiss for a reader to assume that their respective portrayals of a convict, who earns his wealth in New South Wales and sponsors a London street urchin to gentlemanly status, would differ markedly. This assumption, however, is quickly contradicted upon comparison of the two texts. Both Dickens and Carey, despite their different backgrounds, portray their respective convict characters, Able Magwitch and Jack Maggs, with great empathy."

Abstract
In this article, the writer introduces, discusses and analyzes the novel 'Jack Maggs' by Peter Carey. Specifically, the writer discusses and interprets three major aspects of the novel: crime in the 19th century, class in London in the early 19th century and women and their roles in this place and time. The writer explains that 'Jack Maggs' is a historical novel in the tradition of Charles Dickens. The writer discusses that many critics compare this novel to Dickens' "Great Expectations", with Maggs taking on the Dickens' character of Magwitch. The writer maintains that the story is as much a tale of London and her history as it is a retelling of Dickens' work and even his own life. The writer concludes that 'Jack Maggs' is a compelling book that leaves the reader with a deeper understanding of the inner workings of London in Victorian times.
From the Paper
"Victorian England, the period for this richly detailed novel, was a time of great growth and change in society. The Industrial Revolution, with its machinery and mass production was underway, and British cities were filling up with thousands of people looking for work in the factories. Living conditions for the lower classes were deplorable at best. The London setting of this novel makes that quite clear. It shows London as vibrant and alive, but also dirty, smelly, and incredibly crowded. It was also a city filled with crime, poverty, and desperation.
It is not surprising that author Tobias Oates is obsessed with crime and criminology. He lived in a city where crime was rampant."

Abstract
This paper presents a detailed psychological examination of the story of Jack the Ripper. The actions of Jack the Ripper would pale in comparison to some of the more modern serial killers but the tale of Jack the Ripper lives on as one of the most historical cases the world has experienced. The writer delves into why this is true as well as the psychological aspects of the case.
From the Paper
"One of the most compelling issues in the case of Jack the ripper from 1888 is the fact that it has never been solved. The person who committed the murders of five prostitutes vanished as easily as he killed, without a trace. One of the reasons that the case became as famous as it did and still holds the fascination of so many legal experts is because it was one of the first modern cases of serial killing. There had been murders in the past, where domestic squabbles ended in violence or because the involved parties felt they had been wronged by the victim, but serial killers were not a common occurrence."

From the Paper
"Jack Hyles encouraged others to go into the field of ministry if they felt God was leading them to do so. He published books explaining what he felt were the best ways to reach a congregation. His literature describes how to prepare for a sermon, what manner to keep while preaching, and the importance of understanding the congregation. Hyles suggested simplicity when outlining a sermon as he felt an outline that is too detailed would give listeners too much to remember. He also described how he often would make up songs to keep the truth of the message from his upcoming sermon in his mind. When delivering his message, Hyles often included words, superlatives, experiences, names, places, and rituals that warmed his heart to keep himself in the right manner of delivery. He always made sure to be careful with his eyes, the use of his hands, manner of dress, facial expressions, and pulpit behavior to ensure he was delivering in a manner appropriate to earn his congregation's trust. His concentration seemed to pay off, as his manner of preaching was described as "exciting and practical." This manner affected people so much that after a sermon one day, a custodian came to him in tears to let him know how much he reminded him of his old preacher."

Abstract
This paper discusses evidence and details of the court trial against James Maybrick. The author draws particular attention to the "The Diary of Jack the Ripper", a diary that reveals to the world the identity, motive and method of the infamous killer known as Jack the Ripper.
From the Paper
"The crowded courtroom fell silent as the attorney for the defense approached the panel of jurors and prepared to deliver his closing argument. The hushed silence seemed to hang suspended in the heavy atmosphere of anticipation as he reached the front of the courtroom and turned to face the jurors. The tension in the air intensified as he paused momentarily to gather his thoughts before delivering the final climatic words that would mark both his final plea for a verdict of innocent and the end of a long and somewhat bizarre trial. The verdict of innocent for which he argued would not determine the fate of the defendant, for James Maybrick had gone to his grave over a century before the evidence identifying him as London's elusive East End killer known as Jack the Ripper came to light."

Jack Welch: G.E.'s Past Chairman, 2007.
This paper argues that the leadership style of G.E.'s famous past Chairman, Jack Welch, is now considered to be outmoded.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that former G.E Chairman, Jack Welch, was, at one time, exactly the right person to lead G.E. because he was not afraid to take calculated risks and try new ideas. Today, however, new strategies are needed to take on globalization, the move away from manufacturing to a knowledge and service-based economy and the quantum technological shift to the Internet. The author compares several of Welch's old rules with the new rules for doing business in the 21st century. The paper stresses that the extreme measures used by Jack Welch were needed during the transitional period during which business changed from national to international and from capitalist to functionalist. The paper also highlights the work of management guru Peter Drucker to support this argument.
From the Paper
"It was apparent over the past few years that the customer has been forgotten in many places, but the statistic mentioned by "Fortune" that businesses lose half their customers annually is more than expected and more than any business should tolerate. Fifty years ago, one unhappy customer would tell several others, but now they can tell several thousand with a BLOG. Mass communication has changed the entire dynamic of customer service. The Internet and email have made it much easier to communicate with customers and take care of them ... In the end, it is the customer which keeps the business alive, not the stockholders. "

Abstract
The paper examines the criminal investigation of Jack the Ripper. It is necessary to examine the conduct of Scotland Yard as it pursued this case, for doing so will reveal the challenges the investigators faced and establish the reasons why they failed to identify and arrest him. The paper shows that the issues involved have been mired in controversy for more than a century, for there has been speculation that Scotland Yard discovered the identity of Jack the Ripper, concealed who he was, and didn't apprehend him because of political pressure from people in the government or the royal family.
From the Paper
"In focusing on the criminal investigation of Jack the Ripper, it is necessary to examine the conduct of Scotland Yard as it pursued this case, for doing so will reveal the challenges the investigators faced."

"Jack the Ripper", 2007.

Abstract
This paper discusses the circumstances and identity of the killer dubbed "Jack the Ripper." The paper examines possible theoretical frameworks within which we can gain insight to the true motives and circumstances of the event. It specifically discusses the psychoanalytic theory and the social disorganization principles and how they contributed to understanding "Jack the Ripper's" killing spree.
From the Paper
"The East End London killing spree of 1888 has become infamous in popular culture and history. An unknown serial killer, known to this day only as "Jack the Ripper" engaged in a series of grisly murders. His profile was that of a serial killer, with a specific victim--East End prostitutes. The historical events concerning Jack the Ripper and his murders have been overshadowed by the enormous public fascination with the case, particularly its unresolved status. To this day, no one knows who Jack the Ripper was, but the search for and debate over his identity has given rise to an entire branch of criminal justice research known as "Ripperology." The actual identity of the murderer will likely never be known. All that exists are facts about the victims and the crimes themselves, all else is conjecture. Using the known facts of the case and the little that is certain about the killer, motives can be easily extrapolated. Jack the Ripper's brutal and misogynistic killings were driven by behaviors that can be explained by psychological theories, particularly Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytic theory; while the social disorganization theory explains how the social conditions of London's East End at the time provided an atmosphere where his motives could be carried out."

Abstract
This paper explains that American author Jack London, who wrote novels and short stories at around the turn of the twentieth century, influenced many of the great authors throughout the twentieth
century. The author points out that Jack London, who was self-educated even learning to read and write on his own, had many life experiences such as being a sailor, working under the hard conditions of mills and factories, spending time as a hobo and joining the Klondike gold rush, which influenced his story writing. The paper reports on the theme of the cruelty of nature in two of London's works "To Build a Fire" and "White Fang" in which man struggles against nature and learns that there are no polite social rules about it but rather it is a cruel world of dog eat dog.

Biography
Cruelty of Nature
Conclusion
From the Paper
"London's time in the Klondike, however, was quite detrimental to his health. He went back to sailing after this but these experiences in the Klondike formed many of the impressions that were to be later found
in his stories. In his politics, London tended towards socialism. He made a lot of money from his stories and was well known during his lifetime, unlike many authors who have to die to become famous. London died in 1916 and left behind many famous short stories and novels, including famous short stories like "To Build a Fire" which he considered his best work, and novels like "White Fang" and "Call of the Wild" that are still being studied in schools to this day."

Abstract
This paper examines the successful career of Jack Welch, the former CEO of General Electric. It looks at what he accomplished in the post of CEO of General Electric, largely because of his enormous leadership qualities as well as communication skills. It also discusses how these qualities helped him to bring about a huge change thereby resulting in the ultimate success of the corporation. It analyzes how in order to accomplish his goals and to see his dream of General Electric becoming one of the top most corporations in the world come to life Jack set three general rules for himself which included, never to be afraid of a change, to discharge hesitant and unwilling managers and to stop the bureaucracy traditionally practiced in General Electric. It shows how with the help of effective communication skills, he succeeded in conveying his ideas to the entire personnel and developed the concept for an improved environment and a healthier change leading them to success.
From the Paper
"Jack Welch learned what necessary changes were to be brought from the experience of his initial working days as a junior engineer and as a result he made considerable efforts to change the primitive, less healthy environment to a new "informal learning environment" (Biography) for everyone working at General Electric. In addition to the above, he noticed that other successful corporations focused on improving the way businesses were managed. As a result he created the idea of an organization in which the best ideas and methods practiced by one part of the company were to be carried to all the other units of the organization in order to provide useful knowledge to every business unit within General Electric. This healthy change in the environment was also the result of the communication skills practiced by Jack Welch. He interacted with his assistants in order to know them better and to help them fully participate in the business activities of General Electric. He wrote several effective and impressive memorandums to his employees outlining what he demanded and expected of them."

The book itself initiated a cultural revolution, hence diverting about millions of people on new ideological channels. At the same time it arched Kerouac to a fame that he was never expecting and for which his calm, sacred soul was not prepared to deal with."

Jack London, 2004.
This paper explores author Jack London's literary style, using the short story, "To Build a Fire", as one of the best examples of his work.
1,440 words (approx. 5.8 pages), 14 sources, MLA, AU$ 50.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that Jack London's works have received praise for their vivid descriptions of nature, and of the Klondike Territory in particular, and his works generally deal with the theme of the individual in opposition to an amoral, natural world. The author points out that an interesting perception of the inner logic that functions within London's work is the analogy to modern sports; the elements within the ethos of modern sports form a foundational perspective for understanding the works. The paper reveals that one of the most important aspects of London's work is the 'discontinuity' that is revealed between man and nature and between civilization and instinct, which is particularly true with regard to the work, "To Build a Fire", where civilization and society are brought into extreme contrast with nature.
From the Paper
"Howard makes an important point to aid our understanding of naturalism in that naturalism contains within it some essential assumptions; one of the most important being that of 'reality' as an external referential environment that is unquestioned. This runs counter to post-modern theoretical stance, which sees reality as relative and determined by the individual's perception. The critical literature also emphasizes an exploration of London's work from a socio-cultural and more time bound point of view."

Abstract
This paper examines and analyzes Jack Bishop's book about piracy in the music industry. The paper explains that Bishop's book, "Who are the Pirates? The Politics of Piracy, Poverty, and Greed in a Globalized Music Market", tells us what piracy is, how it affects music artists and whether it hurts record companies. The paper also examines Bishop's discussion on why it was inevitable that piracy would become a problem in the music industry.
From the Paper
"What is piracy? How does it affect music artists? Does it hurt record companies? Jack Bishop in "Who Are the Pirates? The Politics of Piracy, Poverty, and Greed in a Globalized Music Market" discuses these questions and why record companies such as Sony, BMG, and Warner are already taking advantage of the consumer so naturally piracy is going to be a problem. Many people in foreign countries cannot afford to pay $15.00 or more for a CD of their favorite recording artist. Jack Bishop discusses how piracy is a problem in many countries and how it will continue to be a serious problem due to the tactics that record companies use in charging high prices. Bishop shows how most of..."
